It's not all bad: Brexit to make Duty Free fags and booze CHEAPER

COME-BACK: It's set to be party time as Duty Free within Europe is set to return

Collapsing pound, end of cheap holidays, ex-pats fearing deportation and our chums on the continent banning David Cameron from breakfasting with them – these are mad times.

But it is not all doom and gloom – because Duty Free is back.

Seventeen years ago Duty Free zones in airports, on planes and in train stations and ports were banned from selling spirits, wine, beer, posh cigars and big boxes of cigarettes for travellers moving between EU countries.

Ever since Brits have only allowed to buy Duty Free only if your final destination was outside of the EU and since most flew to the Med they could not shop.

Partly this was compensated by the so-called booze cruise, which would see Brits jam packing their motors with cheap alcohol and fags in special supermarkets near French ferry ports.

But this means a trip dedicated to it, or if you happened to have some time to kill near the ferry port.

If you are flying home from Spain, you had to pass by the gleaming Duty Free with its full discount pleasures off limits – you can look but don't touch.

Yet in two years time – once we're expected to have left the EU, Brits will be able to fill their boots and carry on the party when they get home.
